All six honorees as well as the rest of the Cardinal Nine are set to begin ACC Baseball Championship pool play on Wednesday, May 22nd at 11am against the #12 seeded Boston College Eagles (29-26, 12-18). Louisville will then be back in action on Thursday, May 23rd at 11am against the #8 seeded Clemson Tigers (33-23, 15-15).
